Halo 3 Online Co-op Confirmed

Update: Bungie has supplied us with details on their site. The online co-op mode is set up in a lobby, similar to the matchmaking system found in Halo 2 and Halo 3 beta. You can join others in their game, or simply start your own session. To stay true to the game, Bungie decided to implement unique character models in online co-op: Player one will be Master Chief, player two as the Arbiter and the other two will play as two new Elite characters.

Plus, as it was first featured in the Halo 3 Beta, you can record all the glory in online co-op (screenshots or video) via the Saved Films feature to relive all the touching moments. Bungie also recommends we serve the Covenant right by whooping them in Legendary mode. Don't worry, we definitely will.

Bungie loves us...

Trashing all previous rumors, reports are coming in that Bungie has confirmed an online co-op mode for the Chief’s return in Halo 3 this September during a Microsoft press conference in Amsterdam today. Two to four players can team up over Xbox Live to finish the fight.

Yes that’s right; you and three other buddies can kick some Covenant ass online. Just imagine: You mopping down enemies with a ghost, while two of your teammates plow through the terrain on a warthog as the other teammate provides cover fire with a sniper rifle. Are you excited yet? Tears of joy are already sparkling down our cheeks…

As for the details about Bungie’s exciting announcement, expect an update soon from the developers themselves on their website. September 25 seems so far away…
